Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Because the working surface is not large, not everyone can enter the front line to start excavation work. Taking advantage of this free time, Liang En carefully studied the target hill.

I have to say that the guy who chose this hill had enough vision. Although it is not far from the sea, due to the uplift of the entire terrain and the overall topography, this hill is surrounded by a series of hills.

In other words, the natural environment around this hill isolates the impact of the ocean and surrounding mountains on the mountain itself as much as possible, reducing the impact on the hill.

This is extremely valuable for potential treasure troves, as the more impact can be reduced the greater the chance that something will survive to this day.

I think back then, the group of treasure hunters probably only wanted to store the treasures here for a short period of time, rather than for a long period of time, so now the better natural conditions are conducive to maintaining the treasures in the best possible condition.

After three days of cleaning, the collapsed items were finally cleared, and a cave previously hidden under a large pile of dirt and rocks was revealed.

"This should be a natural cave." Liang En stepped forward to study it while the cave was ventilated, and then said, "Only the entrance of the cave has traces of artificial filling."

"It seems that your analysis is correct. They did use the existing natural caves to hide their work." At that time, he also walked to the entrance of the cave and looked at the traces of artificial filling on the ground. He said, I looked around in the cave.

"If I'm not mistaken, this place should be a cave, but I'm curious why this cave looks different from the cave I imagined. I can feel that the inside of the cave is unexpectedly dry."

"This is probably because of the surrounding environmental problems. Many times, small changes can cause a series of problems similar to changes in groundwater levels, so the water source that originally formed the cave here naturally disappears."

"However, the disappearance of the water source will not affect the already formed cave. This is why you will see stalagmites and stalactites inside. If you look closely, you will find that these stones are quite weathered."

After the ventilation was completed, Liang En and the others entered the cave. Just like what they felt at the entrance of the cave before, the cave was indeed very dry, even very dry compared to the surrounding area.

At the same time, the smell inside the cave was much better than expected. There was only a slight smell of decay, and it was not like a place that had been closed for more than half a century.

After putting on protective equipment, Liang En and the others entered the cave. When they first entered the cave, they discovered traces of manual intervention: a warehouse had been cleared out of the stalagmites on the opposite side.

"I think the next work will become a lot easier -" Looking at the rough path in front of him, Liang En nodded with satisfaction and smiled before walking forward, but the first thing they saw was Several bodies fell to the side.

Although this place had been sealed for decades, the corpses had turned into bones because of too long a period of time, leaving only some relics left for identification.

Some of the White Knight security personnel who came this time had special forensic training, so a trained security personnel quickly came to a conclusion after examining it.

"Half of these people were shot in the back of the head at close range, while the other half had their throats cut. Judging from the posture of these victims, they should have been tied up and killed."

"Yes, although the clothes on these people are almost in tatters, judging from the remaining bits and pieces, they should be the missing crew members back then." Liang En also checked the relics on them at this time and came to the conclusion Conclusion.

"For example, this belt buckle has the name of the ship on it, and even the name of one of the missing crew members on the back. I think that should be able to explain a lot."

Before coming, Liang En obtained the list of crew members on the missing ship from the information, and the names engraved on the back of the belt buckle and another badge just matched the two people on the missing list.

After putting all this information together, everyone present immediately realized that the crew members were likely to be killed by the Japanese devils directly after transporting the things.

However, in addition to the remains of the crew, they also found more than 30 remains on the other side. However, unlike those of the crew, these remains were of both men and women, old and young.

Although Liang En had not studied forensic science, he keenly discovered that there were obvious differences between these skeletons and the crew members. For example, these people were significantly smaller in size, and there were obvious signs of tooth decay and wear on their teeth.

There is something unusual about these people appearing here, especially when there are children and even babies among them, so figuring out the identities of these people becomes a very valuable thing.

After more than ten minutes of searching, Liang En and Jeanne found some small artifacts in the soil around the skeletons.

These include a hole-punched animal tooth, an arrowhead cut out of a flattened tin can, and an abstract human figure carved from charred wood.

These distinctive things made Liang En immediately understand who these victims who were not recorded were: some indigenous people living nearby.

For those Japanese devils, whether it is to capture strong men or to kill and silence them afterwards is a routine operation method. Therefore, catching some indigenous people for work and then shooting the indigenous people is also very consistent with the character of the Japanese devils.

After placing the remains at the entrance of the cave with the body bags they carried, they finally saw the complete condition of the large pit that was originally beneath the corpses.

The diameter of this large pit was more than 8 meters, and it was covered by a pile of rubble. After using a shovel to peel off some of the rubble, a corner of a wooden box wrapped with iron appeared in front of several people.

"Great, it seems we have found the right place." Liang En turned around and high-fived Nelson as soon as he saw Tiepi, and then said excitedly.

Well, "If you want to determine what this place is, you may have to clean up the rubble. Fortunately, the other party did not completely seal it with cement, otherwise the difficulty of the work would be several times greater than it is now."

"It is impossible to seal a place like this. After all, the Japanese only have one submarine. How could they bring cement?" Nelson shrugged.

"So if I'm not wrong, it's pretty good that the other party can use explosives to complete basic hiding functions. As for further operations, they simply don't have enough materials and manpower."

The source of these gravels was obviously the stalagmites and stalactites that had been cleaned up before, so it was much easier to clean. In just half an hour, that layer of stones was cleaned up and the treasure hidden underneath was revealed.

There are nearly 80 boxes of different sizes. Each box seems to be well preserved, and these boxes are obviously things that were originally placed on the ship and then disappeared with the ship.
